Mr. Bacon's Speech.
In our report of Mr. Bacon’s speech published
in yesterday’s issue the following sentence oc
curs: “He did not charge that Gen. Oordon had
resigned from corrupt motives, but it looked to
him very much like a bargain and sale.” The
foregoing. Mr. Bacon says, is an incorrect state

disclaims any charge of bargain and sale.

STABBED IN THE BOWELS.
| A White Man t ut Down on Oglethorpe Street It)
! Last night about 11 o’clock a telephone message
j was received at this office, saying that a man hud
* bean dangerously cut on Oglethorpe street, near
the Centennial stores. A reporter was at once
dispatched to the scene, and found a white man
I lying on the sidewalk, north of the Perry house,
1 in apparently a dying condition. There
I was a crowd around him, hut no one
j seemed to know how and by whom the unfortu
nate man was cut. Drs. Cameron and Sheridan
i had been summoned mid were present, but had
i made no examination of the wound,
j John Kimbrough, a white man who keeps a
little store near the Perry house, said that the
white man and a negro came to his place togeth-
; or. The white man stopped and asked
him a question, while the negro passed
| on a short distance and also stopped.
The white mini, who was quite drunk, walked on
i towards the corner and overtook the negro. In a
moment he heard blows, and looked and saw the
two men lighting. He could not tell who had
struck the first blow, but when he looked he saw
the white man recovering himself as if he had
been knocked hack against the shop
on the corner. The two men then clinched
and he heard the white man say, “you have stab
bed me.” The negro then ran up the street anil
the white man staggered off and finally fell on
the sidewalk, about one hundred* feet south of
the corner where the fight look place. Kim
brough said that he did not know the negro, hut
that the white man’s name was James Mills.
The police, who were on the spot soon after the
cutting, we at earnestly to Work to ascertain who
had done it. Mills was in an unconscious condi
tion. and could not tell anything about the
trouble. At a late hour the police got a clue
which lends them to believe that the cutting was
done by a negro known as Dr. Brooks alias Mil
ler, who is a vendor of a patent liniment. The
negro was in the northern liberties after the cut
ting. His clothing was bloody and his face
bruised. He was taken in charge by parties who
started to bring him into the city, but he told
them that lu* had been attacked by a man who
struck him in the face and drew a pistol on him,
and it was decided best to release him. The
police, however, are keeping a diligent lookout
for him, and he will no doubt be arrested before
the sun sets to day.
Mills is nn employe of the Swift factory. He
has no family, but lives in a little house on Mer
cer street. He is dangerously, if not fatally, cut
in the bowels, but at a late hour the physicians
were unable to say what the result would be, as
he wus under the intluence of liquor. He was
taken to his home and his wound dressed, and
he may probably be in a condition this morning
to tell all about the difficulty.

Special to Enquirer-Sun.
Sealk, Ala., June 16. —Yesterday your repre
sentative called on George B. Davis, sentenced to
be hung for the murder of Archie Reams. The
date fixed for the hanging is Friday, 26th of this
month. The execution will be private, yet there
will be a great many people here that day.
Sheriff Bella!) y will have a guard consisting of
about 100 armed men. Davis had his hair cut I
closely and was freshly shaven. He is the pic
ture of health and his general appearance is not j
that of a criminal. Davis greeted the reporter !
cordially and was iu a very talkative mood. He
talks about the crime freely, and says that the
mere idea of death does not Double him. “It is
what lies beyond the grave that worries me now,”
said he; “I know that I am a sinner and I do not
feel that (Rid has forgiven my sins. I pray the
best I know how and read the word of God con
stantly.”
“My mother,” he continued, “does not know
that I am to he hung, and I had rather she would
not, as it would kill her in her present weak con
dition.” Davis said that he was well provide*!
lor, and needed nothing except spiritual comfort.
The Seale gun club had its weekly gloss hall
shooting yesterday afternoon. Each man had
twelve shots. Here is the record :
Boykin, 5; Pitts, 8; Guerrv, 4; Waddell, 9;
Greene, 2 ; Jennings, 6; Lindsay, 10; Strong, 10;
Ware, 9; Wilkerson, 10.
The society of Earnest Workers held a meeting
last night and appointed a committee to make

There will be a “rainbow” party at the resi

SCALPED BY THE APACHES.
The Terrible Experience of n 1 Oil tig California
Scout.
From the Chico (Cal.i Chronicle.
A sick und sorry looking specimen of
humanity stepped from the passenger train
last night and climbed into a waiting
I wngon and was driven to the country. His
l name was Samuel Neff. He is a man of
about thirty years of age, and his parents
reside in Pine Creek. Young Neff is just
home from Arizona, where he has been
prospecting in the mines, and acting as a
scout on the hunt for Indians. Un
fortunately for him he found the mur
derous red devils, and they almost
made mince-meat of him. One day while
riding through a canon he was shot
through the shoulder, and fell front
his horse. His assailants, finding that he
was not dead, tortured him outrageously.
They cut gashes in his face and all over his
body, applied fire to his feet and hands,
and ended their brutal assaults by scalping
him. He suffered untold agonies ana
prayed that death might relieve him.
Finally he fell into a faint, and upon
awakening he found himself being kindly
eared for in a miner’s cabin. The miner
had picked him up and carried him a long
distance on horseback. Neff suffered
weeks of excruciating pain and raved with
a fever, and as soon as he was able to travel
be took the road for home.
Last evening u Chronicle reporter asked
Neff how he felt to have his hair lifted.
11 It is a dreadful sensation,” he said.
“ One thinks, as the skin is being torn from
the skull, that his feet are coming right up
through his body to the top of his head.
Oh, it is terrible. It is so painful that you
can not utter a cry and thousands of stare
dance before your eyes. You imagine red
hot needles are darting in and out of your
llesh and you clasp your hands so closely
that the finger nails cut into the flesh.
I would rather be run through u
threshing machine, ground up in a sausage
mill or thrown under a locomotive than to
ever undergo such auother ordeal. It
makes me shudder tc^think of the tortures
I have gone through with and 1 never
want to look upon the face of auother In
dian.”
"Do many persons survive the opera
tion^” interrupted the reporter.
“No. I have only heard of two or three
men besides tnvself who have lost their
hair by tne sealping-knife and then lived to
tell of it.”
"Mr. Neiff, do you think the hair will
ever grow out again ?”
"Oh, no; I shall always have a bald spot
up there. Tlie skin was torn otf for a space
of four inches square, and I’m afraid it will
never heal entirely. Even if it does heal
over the bare place will always be so pain
ful that I cannot touch it. I keep my head
tied up in cotton and sweet oil. You can
see that ray beauty has been considerably
marred. These frightful gashes across ray
face will go with me to the grave.”
John Kelly nail Drover Cleveland.
Albany Argus.
The Hon. John Kelly possessed many
virtues. He was a man of singular loyalty,
even to those whom he did not know. It
was at the Syracuse convention of 1882, an
hour after 'Grover Cleveland had been
nominated for governor, that I first met
him. Tiie story was afloat and extensively
believed that he would not support the ;
nominee, and that disastrous results might
be apprehended.* He laughed at the ru- ]
mors when I explained what a foothold |
they had obtained among the Buffalonians j
then at Syracuse for Mr. Cleveland.
"Sit down,” he said. "Do you know Mr.
Cleveland? Well, I do not know him. I |
have never even met him. He lias been i
nominated and I shall support him. When '
I say I shall, I mean it. 1 believe he is a ]
good man, for my warmest Buffalo friends I
s..v that he is, and I must believe them in |
the absence of other proof. Now, do me a |
personal favor. You go to Butfnlo and tell j
llr. Cle\eland .1 shall support him, and tell ■
him to place no reliance in the stories he j
limy hear from now until the end of the I
campaign that my organization or myself j
will prove disloyal. Tell him I shall take 1
off my coat for him and he shall know j
what it means. This is all. Deliver my ;
message and you will both see on election
dav that I have kept my word.”
The message was delivered.
"Did Mr. Kelly say this?” asked Grover
Cleveland, as he whirled around iu his chair,
busy with the numerous duties as mayor at
the Buffalo city hall.
"That is his precise language,” I replied,
as I read it from a note book in which it
was recorded as uttered.
“Then,” replied Mayor Cleveland, "I
shall do as he says, and shall pay no furth
er attention to any rumor concerning Mr.
Kelly or his plans. I believe: what he
says,’ and know he means what he 3avs.”
Observation taught me afterward that
Mr. Cleveland relied strictly upon Mr. Kel
ly’s statements. Placed in a position to
have some knowledge of the relations be
tween Mr. Cleveland’s friends in that cam
paign, I never heard from Mr. Cleveland
himself; or iris most intimate friends, even
when the rumors of duplicity were the
loudest, that Mr. Kelly was not sincerely
loyal. Mr. Cleveland’s faith was verified
oii election day. John Kelly did take his
coat off. Historical tacts, no matter ii the
frailty of politics led to estrangement, are
facts the dead should lie credited with.
It was again at Saratoga that I met Mr.
Kelly, during the convention of 188-1,which
endorsed Mr. Cleveland and sent a majori
ty of the delegates to Chicago pledged to
his support for 1 he presidential nomina
tion. Tlie Saratoga convention was at its
height when I met Mr. Kelly on the veran
da of the Grand Union hotel. Naturally |
reference was made to the time when I
first met him, and our conversation then. |
He tyas told that his message of 1882 had |
been delivered, how it was received and
believed to the end. Antici-
pating that a similar message was
expected again, he said, calmly, but with
great force: “I have not changed my opin
ion of Mr. Cleveland. But this year finds
me in a peculiar position. Inside my or
ganization are diverse thoughts, aims, and
ends, and, unfortunately, I am the chosen
instrument to guide and counsel. Who
can speak what he can do. or would like
to do, fettered by opinions varied in hos
tility and friendship with your own
friends? .Were it in my absolute power to
speak I would advocate obedience im
plicitly to'the rule of the majority. That
is the fundamental principle of good
politics and good government. You see
and can realize my position, and so can all
of Mr. Cleveland’s friends. Speaking from
my Own convictions, I favor Mr. Cleve-
lahd’js nomination if the majority here so
deckle. - 1 cannot see defeat for him if he
is nominated at Chicago. Depend upon
time, if this nominating event occurs, for
a slow conciliation of these now prevail
ing diverse thoughts, aims, and ends, and
who knows but what in the end loyalty
will be as supreme on election day of
1884 As it wad in 1882 ?”■

A Profitable IIIveMtineiil.
Hon. J. H. Stead, State Senator in Colorado
writes: “Thirty years ago I took a policy in the
Mutual Life for $1,000, annual payments $22.us
which I paid :or 20 years, making $165. For the
last ten years the premium has been paid by the
dividends. In other words, I have not paid any
thing for ten years I am now informed from the
general office of the Company that my policy is
worth $1,800. Had I continued to pay the pre
miums in cash, as 1 should have done, the policy
would be worth $2,300 to $2,400. But 1 have se
cured $1,800 for my family by an investment of
$466, which is an excellent showing. I recom
mend Life Insurance because T believe in it, and
believe in the Mutual Life Policies.
